Congratulations Satoshi!

This was so unexpected. I’m crying.

I am crying! If you think about it, 22 years after the first Pokemon League, Satoshi has been chasing his dreams with his Pokemon and friends for so long.

There are people who say that he won the Orange League, but that wasn’t an official tournament

Satoshi wins his first victory at the age of 32
